Avocado Potato Salad

Avocado Potato Salad Recipe

Ever since my family and I have changed our food to a plant-based, whole foods diet, I have come up with some pretty creative recipes. This avocado potato salad is one of those recipes that tastes so good and healthy. With each bite, you know you are eating a totally healthier potato salad that has good fat in it, verses having fat that is not good for you.

Healthy Potato Salad

I’ve always made a great potato salad but this has a different twist to it. Making potato salad with avocados as the “mayo” is definitely different but trust me on this, it’s so good! The thing about making this avocado potato salad, is that it needs to be eaten fairly soon after being made. Avocados tend to turn brown so fast, and having the lemon juice included in the recipe does help with that.

I used a steamer basket for the potatoes and they turned out great! After they were done, and cooled a little bit, I put them into the fridge to speed up the chilling process.

This avocado potato salad is a delicious, healthy side dish to any meal. Enjoy!
